It was confirmed on Wednesday that Newcastle United had agreed on a deal to sign Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak.
The 22-year-old is regarded as one of the most exciting young forwards in Europe and emerged as a target for Newcastle club chiefs after they missed out on French youngster Hugo Ekitike earlier in the summer.
Mirror Football understands the Magpies could eventually pay in excess of £60million to sign Isak, who has been a target for a number of Premier league sides across the past 18 months, and his arrival can help bolster Eddie Howe’s options in attack, with injury concerns an ever-present threat for key centre forward Callum Wilson.
